Taharka Brothers Ice Cream Recalls Peanut Butter Cup Ice Cream Because of Possible Health Risk

Baltimore, Md., Jan. 14, 2026 — Taharka Brothers Ice Cream has recalled its Peanut Butter Cup ice cream because it may be contaminated with Salmonella, a bacterium that can cause fever, diarrhea, vomiting and, in vulnerable people, serious or fatal infections.

Wholesale customers are asked to remove affected product from circulation, photograph and dispose of it, then email [email protected] with business name, address, product details and photos to request credit.
